AVI-8 CHARCOAL EMBER BROWN

The retrograde chronograph pays a fitting homage to the famous jet without being cluttered and fussy in its carefully considered design. The Retrograde Edition brings the dashboard and cockpit of the Hawker Hunter to the wrist of the wearer with homage and representation that is still utterly practical and balanced as a watch.

AVI-8 CHARCOAL EMBER BROWN AV-4052-02
Presentation

The AV-4052-02  is an iconic edition of the British brand Avi-8. Made of quality 316L stainless steel, the housing of this Flyboy resists corrosion thanks to its low carbon structure.

This watch is powered by a quartz Chronograph movement capable of split micro measurements of time.
With pinpoint accuracy you may use this watch to measure separate periods of elapsed time while simultaneously reading the current time.

The measurement of time is indicated by the stopwatch hands that move independently of the center hands and 24-hour hand.
The stopwatch can measure up to 10 minutes.

The Japan Quartz Chronograph with 10 Minutes Retrograde and Date suggests a pretty complication: a small second is housed there, offering maximum visibility at the hour and minute hands!

Finally, the date display at 4 o’clock is a subtle complication … but still useful.

Details

The dial is an intriguing blend of depth and detail. We find fluorescent white indexes, matched with great successes to the black dial and the white tips of the hands. These colors were obviously not chosen at random. They refer to the wings of British aviation aircraft in the middle of the 20th century …

Easy to grasp and perfectly proportioned to the watch case, it highlights with the greatest success the 45 mm case covered with a mineral crystal.

Finally, fans will appreciate a robust and leather bracelet, offering a solid and comfortable hold over the long term: enjoy!
